ing earnestly discussed, and if the
time or its meeting is to extend
beyond one night, the public has not
been informed of tit was an en-
tirely new departure o rfthe Board
to call ajoint meeting to confer with
the farmersNit was we'll known to
the Board, at the time it issued its
call for one at Raleigh on the 18th,
that the C~onventiQn at Greensboro
on the 18th, had Reen suggested,
and yet this movement, originated
by these farmers organization, re-
ceived no recognition at the hands
of the Board. 1t would seem that
the Board might, at least, have con
ferred with the farmers with the
view of securing united action, If 1T
were desirable.
We trust that it may have a full
and profitable meeting, and that 1T
will institute some reforms, especial
ly in the Department ofAgriculture,
and such reforms as will meet the
hearty endorsement of the farmers
of the State.
Our readers, and the thousands
of farmers throughout the State who
have honored US with their presence,
will bear us witness, that we have
not INDUCED in harsh or unjust crit
icism Of the department Of Agricul-
ture, nor will we do 50 now. Indeed,
we cannot refrain from congratula-
ting the Department on this new
departure, which we accept as
an indication OF a gratifying change
in it's views as to Farmers Conven-
tons. We we'll remember that,
three years ago, the farmers sought
to make some changes in the De-
partment-one of the most impOr-
tant was, that the Board should call
an annual joint Convention Of the
farmers, and they were fought day
and night, for weeks and weeks, by
members of the Board and officers
of the department. 1t is but just to
the Board to say, however: that but
three OF its present members were
arrayed in that fight against the far
mers. Now, if the agitation of a
Farmers Convention shall result in
giving us two Conventions, where we
failed to get n before, it is certainly
progress in that direction. We say
it is a most hopeful sign and we trust
that the very earnest effort put
forth by the Board to secure a large
attendance and distinguished speak
ers, will result in some good.
Meantime, there are many good
men all over the State, who are look
ing forward with interest to the
Convention on the Goth. They ex-
pect, and they demand, that this
Convention will, as far as possible,
represent the views and interests OF
the great mass Of farmers through
out the State. And we hazard
nothing in saying that this will be
done zealously and faithfully. The
men who will meet in Raleigh on
the Goth, will come from the fields,
and they will come profoundly i'm
pressed with the terrible and de-
plorable condition of the agricultu-
raj interests of our people, and they
will seek relief and remedy in a
spirit of earnest, honest, la~rge-heart-
ed

what He Looks Like.

Henry George does not resemble
his Puck pictures. Keppler gives the
chronological idea of u man having a
dome Of thought on him like William
Cullen Bryant. Georges head is
domely enough. but it is of only ordi-
nary calibre. His forehead runs clear
around almost to the nape of his
neck. The fringe Of hair which forms
a sort of dado to his badness is
almost black, while his short beard
and moustache, which cover his face.
are betw cen sorrel and terra-cotta
red in color. His features are
very ordinary. His nose is
cold looking and small; his
eyes, a deep grey or blue are set pref
ty close together, and far back in his
head, giving him an appearance OF
shrew wdness, which characteristic he
unquestionably possesses. He is
about five feet nine or ten; weighs
about 175 pounds, and has small feet
and chubby little hands. His alder
manic stomach is growing on him,
but otherwise his figure is shapely
enough, and he would look very pre-
sentable as gentleman from Gotham,
if his clothes were not 80 shady; but
they may be cloak for the poverty
racket, and, if SO, are appropriate
enough and should be passed by with
out remark Rochester Union.

The Labor Party iu New York.
n. IIo,-,, Gaor,,o IN hio ,,I raoooo

Mr.. Henry George, in his addresses
at the labor meeting in Union square
on Saturday night, speaking OF the
entrance of the United Labor party
into the arena of State politics this
wear and it's intended entrance into
that of national politics next year,
said: "Our victory is certain. We
shall, l believe, this year, carry the
city Of New York. 1t is entirely pos
sible, in my opinion, that We carry
the State" He could not have found
the grounds for this hopeful augury
either in the numbers or
the enthusiasm of the assembly
which he was addressing. Al
though the weather was most favor
able for an outdoor gathering and ell
aborate preparations were made to at
tract a crowd, and through the lead
ing lights of the party, including MIR.
George and DIR. McGlynn, were pres
ent as speakers, according to the care
full estimate of Inspector w lliams,
there was ut no time more than $500
people on the ground, and there were
none of the customary demonstrations
of enthusiasm at the opening OF a
rousing campaign. Mr.. George him
self can hardly be subject to the delu-
sion which he rtrove to impart to 9TH
ers, that the prospects for the party Is
hopeful. All the signs indicate that
it will fall far short OF the display OF
strength which it made last year.
There are many reasons for believ-
ing that it is going to pieces. The
tame demonstration of Saturday night
was followed on Sunday by very
wide split in the Central Labor Union,
which is made up of representatives of
the various labor unions and assem-
blies OF the Knights OF Labor in the
city. and which last year was the
mainstay Of the George movement.
A test vote showed that forty-four OF
the organizations represented at the
Sunday meeting. adhered to the Pro
gressiye Labor party, as against fifty
two favorable to the United Labor
party. The Progressive Labor party
includes the Socialists and their SYM
pa.hizers, who were last year very
active in their support OF George
and this year are bitterly otp
posed to him. This division in the
